Retrieving the value in an auto complete box after a post of the page

[Marc Oden]

Is there a way to retrieving the value in an auto complete box after a post of the page?

 

An example that does not work follows:

 

// POST: /Organizations/DeleteOrganization

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult DeleteOrganization(string querystring)
{
    string errormessage = string.Empty;
    OrganizationModel om = null;

    if (!_provider.IsUserLoggedOn())
    {
 return RedirectToAction("LogOn", "Account");
    }

    AutocompleteTextBox myBox = (AutocompleteTextBox)ViewData["Organization"];

    // ******* This does not work *********************

    string orgid = myBox.Field("Value").ToString();
  
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(orgid))
    {
 OrganizationProvider op = new OrganizationProvider();
 om = op.GetOrganizationByName(orgid, out errormessage);
 if (om != null)
 {
     if (!om.Destroy(out errormessage))
     {
  ModelState.AddModelError("", errormessage);
     }
     om = null;
 }
 else
 {
     ModelState.AddModelError("", errormessage);
 }
    }
    else
    {
 ModelState.AddModelError("", "No organization selected");
    }

    return View(new OrganizationModel());
}

Hi Marc,

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion forums.

 

We suggest you to use the AutoComplete controls ID at the post for getting the selected value. Please refer the below code snippet,

<code>

[View]

@using (Html.BeginForm())

        {

        @(Html.Syncfusion().AutocompleteTextBox("txtTest")

                .RequestMapper("ServerJSON").AutoFormat(Skins.Vista))

       

        <input type="submit" value="submit" />

}

[Controller]

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]

        public ActionResult Index(string txtTest)

        {

 

            return View();

        }

 

</code>

 

We have also prepared a simple sample to show case this behavior and the same can be downloaded from the following link,

AutoCompleteTextBoxPost.zip

Kindly try the sample and let us know if it helps.
